These are the Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
This law relates a planet's orbital period and its average distance to the Sun. - Third law of Kepler.
The orbits of planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus. - First law of Kepler.
The speed of a planet varies, such that a planet sweeps out an equal area in equal time frames. - Second law of Kepler.
Answer:
Because of the presence of air resistance
Explanation:
When an object is in free fall, ideally there is only one force acting on it:
- The force of gravity, W = mg, that pushes the object downward (m= mass of the object, g = acceleration of gravity)
However, this is true only in absence of air (so, in a vacuum). When air is present, it exerts a frictional force on the object (called air resistance) with upward direction (opposite to the motion of free fall) and whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the object.
Therefore, it turns out that as the object falls, its speed increases, and therefore the air resistance acting against it increases too; as a result, the at some point the air resistance becomes equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity: when this happens, the net acceleration of the object becomes zero, and so the speed of the object does not increase anymore. This speed reached by the object is called terminal velocity.
